Beach wedding color scheme starring the Pantone Color of the Year 2017, a “zesty” yellow-green named greenery! It is perfectly supported with shades of lavender, blush pink and gray.

The “refreshing and revitalizing shade,” as Pantone’s color experts describe, “is symbolic of new beginnings.”. I am very excited when thinking about how to use this greenery in beach wedding invitations, as I think it will make a chic and trendy beach wedding party in 2017.

Neutrals and pastels have paved the way for a total return to color. Expect to see pops of bold shades and bright color pairings. Pantone named greenery the Color of the Year—it’s vibrant and earthy, making it perfect for all seasons. This fresh hue is symbolic of “the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.

Guests are introduced to this color with the starfish invitationusing a layer of the vibrant shade of green in the background.The bright color is tempered by the layer of cream paper with the embossed starfish on the top.

Please keep in mind that each invitation features​hand embossed starfish, and so no two are exactly alike!

Also featured is the starfish embossed beach wedding reception menu.They continue your beach wedding themewith a menu featuring embossed starfish!Menus are on the same paper as the invitations​and feature a hand torn deckled edge along all four sides.

Next up from the palette above is a pair of sea glass earrings​that match the greenery color perfectly!These are from fellow Etsy shop: LinaColors

These unique green sea glass earrings are made with high-quality frosted glass that resembles ocean tumbled sea glass, but is much cheaper and comes in sizes and shapes that sea glass never does.

These are made as wire wrapped earrings using entirely sterling silver materials. You have an option of either regular fish hook ear wires or lever backs, both options are for sterling silver.

How gorgeous are these bridesmaid dresses?They bring in both the blush and the gray with a bit of shimmer.​Sparkly gowns—gold, silver and metallic beading—flooded the bridal runways. The ball gown is making a comeback too, perfect for a formal evening wedding. Also hot? Breezy silhouettes and airy skirts. These effortless dresses (think: flowing fabrics like tulle and organza) have an ethereal vibe and are well suited for a destination affair or even a second look. Detachable skirts, floral embellishments and off-the-shoulder looks will also be making their way down aisles this year.

The beach wedding cake featured is sublime.It features a simple yet elegant shell themewith starfish and a large scallop ​that feels very serene and mature.

This aisle decoration, below, didn't make it into the palette but it was too darling not to share it. It looks like a crafty bride made these herself.I especially love the little shell tucked under the starfish.

So that's another beach wedding color scheme for you.Hope you enjoyed and come back soon!
